OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

MGG is committed to safeguarding your privacy and complying with all applicable data protection and privacy laws. We will only use your data in a safe and responsible way. This Privacy & Cookies Policy (the “Policy”) is provided to help you understand what kind of information we collect from you in respect of our products and services, and how we process and use such information. In this Policy, the term “personal data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (otherwise known as a ‘natural person’).

MGG is the trading name of Mont Gele Gear S.à.r.l. (also referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”).

You acknowledge and agree that any of your personal data which we collect may be used in accordance with this Policy, by and for MGG. For the avoidance of doubt, MGG will be the ‘data controller’ in respect of such data.

In this Policy, we set out the ways in which any personal data that you give us and/or which we obtain from you, will be used. We will only ever send you marketing emails if you have provided us with your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent to receiving such emails. We will also never send you spam emails. By visiting www.mgg.ski and clicking ‘Agree’ on our cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies, pixels, device information, etc., for the purposes outlined in this Policy. This means that you may see MGG digital advertisements on other websites. Such ‘retargeted’ advertising is explained in more detail below.

By visiting www.mgg.ski, you accept that your data will be used in the various ways set out in this Policy.

COMPLIANCE WITH DATA PROTECTION LAWS

All personal data belonging to MGG website users and customers is processed in accordance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations. For example, this will be the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for customers based in EU countries, the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act and Data Protection Ordinance for customers based in Switzerland, etc. This means that we will only ever process your data if there is a lawful basis for doing so.

We will only use your data when we have your explicit consent to do so. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at support@mgg.ski or at the postal address at the bottom of this Policy.

ADVERTISING

We may ‘retarget’ you across the internet with specific advertisements for MGG products and releases, so as to keep you aware of what we are up to and to enable you to discover our latest products (those are the advertisements which seem to follow you around once you leave a website!).

This may, for example, be because you visited our website, followed us on social media, or because you match our current demographic. We use a variety of technologies for this such as cookies, pixels, tags and mobile identifiers, among others.
